Rapper Folarin Falana a.k.a Falz said he felt good about what social media influencer Martins Otse a.k.a VeryDarkMan was doing exposing social ills till the Bobrisky bribery allegations scandal.
Falz and his famous human rights advocate dad are preparing for a legal tango with VDM whom they accused of defaming the after he posted on line a leak audio tape where transgender Idris Okuneye a.k.a Bobrisky alleged that it was Mr. Falana that arranged for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to drop a money laundering charge against him.
Speaking on the Afrobeats Podcast, Falz said said he has never met VDM in person.
“I don’t know much about his activism; I’d be honest with you. Prior to the first video where he mentioned me and my dad, I hadn’t seen much of him.
“What I had seen and remember seeing was from a while ago. Some stuff about people who didn’t have NAFDAC numbers and were selling bleaching products. At the time when I saw those clips, I thought, ‘This person seems to be doing something right; this is a good cause,’ but aside from that, I wouldn’t lie to you, I haven’t seen much of his work.”
On the statements made by VDM, Falz said, “Now this person one day thought it wise to turn on his ring light, sit down, and fire direct statements, insinuations, and innuendoes and allege that myself and my dad connived with certain individuals to manipulate justice and bribe the EFCC.”
“He also added that the reason I had done this was because I had a homosexual relationship with Bobrisky. Going further to say that my posturing as an activist is false. How would anyone feel? These are horrible things to say without proof. How can you just come and allege all these things?” he added.
